I think it might be true. When I was in Vegas I felt like I had a lot more energy and needed less sleep. I was also almost never hungry. I had to force feed myself

That was adrenaline not oxygen.

Wouldnt pumping anything into the air be illegal?

What they do is they pump oxygen OUT of the casino and into the rooms. This way when you are in your room you are all pumped and you head down to the casino. In the casino you get all dozy with the lack of oxygen and play bad thus increasing the house edge.

By moving oxygen from one part of their complex to another they circumvent the illegality of adding anything to the air.

Its definately false but casinoes have other obvious tactics: no windows so you can't see how late it is outside and no clocks so you dont know how much time you are spending there.

I think 2+2 sends out idiot-rays through their web-site to keep us all dumb and asking stupid questions thus increasing traffic on their forums.

Heheh...

this has to be true.

To simulate the casino enviroment at home I use an oxygen mask, crank up the AC, squirt myself with pheremones, and make my wife walk by every now and then (rudely) asking me if I want a free kool aid. If only I could figure out how to tip the dealer and throw up under the table, I'd be set!

You're correct. Oxygen for human consumption actually is tightly regulated for medical purposes only. The casino would be in for one hell of a lawsuit and penalties if they got caught.

No, it's totally true. And they put amphetamines in the drinks to keep you awake so you'll keep playing. Plus they also put skin absorbant prozac in the keys for the ATMs to keep you happy.

I think a lot of those cocktail waitresses are putting Viagra in the drinks, because I get turned on a lot more getting a beer in a casino than getting myself one at home.
